IASA is pleased to offer a series of workshops at locations around the state designed to introduce, educate and understand both the Evidence-Based Model (EBM) and Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), as well as examine the relationship between the two. This series will be divided into three individual workshops provided once a month in January, February and March. The concept of the workshops is to break down each law and allow superintendent and administrative teams the opportunity to apply the new law to their individual districts. The final workshop in March will combine the knowledge of the individual laws and concepts to implement both the EBM and ESSA, as well as a communication plan that is applicable to each school district.

Dr. David R. Schuler of High School District 214 has been named the 2018 Illinois Superintendent of the Year by IASA. The award was presented Saturday (November 18) during the Joint Annual Conference in Chicago. Nominees are judged on Leadership for Learning, Communication, Professionalism and Community Involvement.
